GIVESENDGO CHARITIES

The Giver Army is designed to encourage numerous donors to contribute regularly to one of twelve charitable causes. These donations are then aggregated and distributed as grants to crowdfunded campaigns associated with the respective cause. Members of the Giver Army consider themselves the 'Crowd for the Crowdless,' choosing to combine their small donations with others to support individuals facing significant needs without a supportive community. Our causes include: Pro-Life: Assistance in adoption, foster care, pregnancy care, or family development. Animal Rescue and Care. Arts and Education. Essentials for Life: Providing food security and other daily essentials. Crisis Response: Provisions for volunteer groups during a crisis. Rescue and Rehabilitation: Providing funds for people seeking forms of rehabilitation, including drug and alcohol abuse and human trafficking. These funds also support other nonprofit organizations with a similar focus. Justice for All: Providing funds for people seeking legal aid. Medical Relief. Earth Care. Barnabas Fund: Providing funds for semi-completed charitable projects. We have provided 42 grants ranging from $500 to $5000. Grant amounts are determined based on the expressed needs and available funds. Campaigns selected to receive a grant must meet specific criteria. They must comply with all laws governing charitable giving, such as not providing grants to family members and ensuring the campaign is set up for a charitable cause related to humanitarian aid, faith, education, etc. The campaign owner must be actively attempting to raise funds outside of receiving a grant, indicating that the campaign is deemed worthy of crowdfunding. Additionally, the campaign must fulfill all verification steps provided by the platform on which they start their campaign.

Our Care and Relief funds are established to meet the financial needs of individuals and communities affected by recognized crises and challenges. These funds are raised through crowdfunding and then distributed as grants to crowdfunded campaigns of those affected by the corresponding situation. This year, we initiated several funds to address both local and national emergencies, including Hurricane Helene relief efforts across Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee; wildfires in Texas; the Maui wildfires in Hawaii; the Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse in Baltimore, Maryland; the Kansas City Championship Parade shooting; and the Secret Admirer Valentine's Day Fund for Single Moms. Grants generally ranged from $500 to $5,000 and were predominantly awarded to charitable organizations and crowdfunded campaigns providing direct aid and support to affected individuals and families.
